[ he will be there shortly!! gu yun's in here all the time anyway. wouldn't it be funny if he just came out of molly's room
no, there's a knock on the door a bit later. yuri will hear a muffled curse that sounds like it's probably in a different language and a light thud before he opens the door, and find gu yun picking his phone up with his functional hand from the ground. sighs. ]
[ the SARCASM. he hates this. it takes him like three more tries to pick up the phone with his good hand, before finally, when his stupid hand drops it, he manages to drop it into the silk at the bottom of his sleeve.
success. ha. he's so clever. ] You?
[ a different kind of adjustment period, maybe, considering the announcement. ]
[ that gets a dry snort, and gu yun nods. you do you, yuri. eventually, though, he comes in after him, coming to flop into one of the kitchen chairs. ]
In the med bay, in one of the healing pods. That's where this came from. [ as he sits, he reaches down for his useless left arm. it takes him two tries to grab onto it and hold onto it (this is the worst), then lifts it and lets it flop onto the table. as he does, the dark silk of his robe pulls back, and yuri can see his hand is...a skeleton hand. his outside bones ] Wrath believes it'll take another trip before it's back to normal, so I plan on sleeping in there again, tonight.
[ oh. gu yun your outside bones ] ... wow. Those pods are powerful. You'll get your hand back, working and everything if things pan out like Wrath expects?
[ wowie. ]
I take it with you sleeping away inside the pod you didn't sense anything weird happening last night?
Seems like it. I really ought to invest in one of these to bring home.
[ considering running around with horrible injuries is like his job. terrible. ] It does come with side effects, though. I can't hardly pick anything up with my other hand, and I'm not sure when that's going to wear off.
[ it's been. very annoying. he's dropping all the things.
but! that aside, onto more businessy things. ] Mm - I didn't go into it until it was time for us to be knocked out. Even if I had been before, it would've been impossible to stay. The lids kept opening and closing, for the hour we were in.
[ and then, tilting his head... ] I woke up in time to hear the announcement this morning before I stepped back in, and all of us awoke in the pods. Not just Childe and I.
[ gu yun your injuries. ] It should though, but... like you said. It's the when that matters. If you're using it again tonight, you might have a fun time investigating tomorrow.
[ gu yun, dropping evidence everywhere..... ] Just on their own? Was there something wrong with the power?
[ ........ huh. ] Someone ... moved you all in there? I guess that means we should check the medical bay tomorrow. I wonder if you all got injured while you were sleeping.
I'm sure the Ling Shu Institute's gearheads could figure something out. [ bunch of fuckin NERDS
anyway. he sighs, at that, looking a little irritated. ] I likely won't do much investigating of scenes myself, tomorrow. [ for that EXACT reason ] So, I'll coordinate and direct others, and rely on everyone else to be thorough.
[ gu yun who is the king of being nosy absolutely hates this, if you can't tell. ] I'm not sure if we were moved in there, or if it was simply another 'recalibration'. But, I imagine someone likely used the healing pods last night. Short of myself, Childe, and Primrose, if she so chooses to use one tonight - we should be on the lookout for anyone who has no injuries.
[ there there. ] Some injuries can be replaced, keep that in mind. It'd be easier if it was someone we'd normally expect injuries on, where a lack of them can be suspicious. But if it was someone who tends to abstain from sex, it might be trickier.
Worth remembering, but also not foolproof. But it could definitely help narrow things down.
Mm. [ he waves his good hand. yes, yes. ] Exploring every avenue, and all.
[ a beat. gu yun wrinkles his nose. ] Maybe if we'd all stop marking each other up, this would be a bit easier. [ the way i will have NO sexy injuries to report this week im saved ] Let's keep an eye out for anything unusual in that regard, too. By now, we've done this enough times that we can strategize accordingly.
[ if yuri had glasses he'd be peering over them. ] And have you been abstaining this week, Gu Yun?
[ pointedly. his sexy wounds might be gone now, but if they were there in the first place... the hypocrisy! ] The marking up part is half of the fun.
Still, if we have an idea of what injuries someone has -- if someone slept with someone, remembers leaving a mark and that mark is missing, then that's fairly damning in and of itself.
A gentleman never kisses and tells. And if I did, you wouldn't see an ounce of evidence.
[ the same coy excuse from their gossip session a couple weeks ago. fufu.
anyway. ] The worrisome thing will be if those sorts are collaborating. It will be best to check as many alibis as possible - the more evidence that can be corroborated, the better.
[ coy or not, he'll assume so anyway. gu yun, your sexual journey. ]
... True. And if a killer sleeps with someone on Friday, then they'll have marks on them again. Not the same ones, but maybe enough to keep them from suspicion.
but. he taps his chin with his good hand, thoughtful. ] So we have to rely on the word of each other to either share secrets, or keep them to themselves.
All in all, it's not a great system. [ gu yun trusts no one at their word, actually. ] I imagine those powers we all got will have come into play, too.
[ ... ] Someone was flinging around curses this week. Not sure if it's relevant to all this -- but I was mad as all hell on Wednesday, as you know, and Luca had a huge hand last night when we were locked in. [ ... hm. ] I wonder why.
Ah. Right. We need to figure out the distribution as well. What the name of the ability you got?
Gluttony, then. [ for whoever did that to luca. ] It couldn't have been Shi Qingxuan, but that leaves the others. Do you know if he had it before you were locked in?
I think someone may have been heavily influenced by their sin this week, too, which was... greed, no? Did you ever find out who went after you?
The ability's... "the power of God and anime on my side", whatever that means. [ i fucking hate the mods so much i just want you to know that. ] You?
[ watch me backdate pcs later and ruin this response, but-- ]
No, I don't. He was kind of self-conscious of it, so we didn't really mention the Giant Hand while we were awake.
... Greed? [ ... ] And, no. I didn't. The anger is one of Wrath's, and while I don't think Prim would've used it, I can't say for White or Endorsi. [ me, becks, staring directly into the gy ]
Ah. I wonder if it's a sin split again. I've got Oliver Twist. [ ... ] What a name though. What does it do?
[ ... ? ] No, I'm just unsure where Greed fits into the equation. You said someone was heavily influenced by their sin, but then mentioned Greed. Where's the connection?
Oh, that was their power - to make someone feel like acting on their sin strongly for 24 hours. It was the one that I saw in effect earlier this week on someone else. When you were acting so strangely on Wednesday, I initially thought it may have been that over the Wrath curse.
[ ... he looks a little amused. ] I think Medb may have used hers, though not on you.
[ that explains a lot.
anyway! ] The power I have generates a battle cry that boils someone's blood, apparently. Not sure if it's mine, or the other person's - it wasn't particularly specific.
